"Guy’s we have to run!" Quinn said in a serious tone.
They didn’t know why, but Quinn was clearly shocked after seeing the beast. Perhaps it was his vampire senses tingling telling him this was a strong beast Vorden thought.
But it wasn’t the case, for Fex stood unaware of the danger in front of them. Some vampires were able to sense how dangerous a beast was, but Fex senses still weren’t at that level yet. So to him it just looked like any other beast, only this one was a little larger.
After finding out it was an advanced tier beast, Quinn didn’t even think about the possibility of trying to defeat it for its experience points. Last time he had fought against an intermediate beast and almost died.
There was no way for Quinn to tell how strong the intermediate beast he thought against was, some were stronger than others, but whenever there was a jump up in the level of beast tiers. There was a definite strength difference.
He didn’t have confidence he could defeat it, and definitely not while hiding abilities. Even though Fex was by his side, who had supposedly killed ten advanced tier beasts. Fex had the same problem as Quinn, where he was unable to reveal himself in front of this many people.
However, if Fex honestly did know the level of the beast, even he would have been frightened. Fex just like when Quinn faced an intermediate beast, barely made it out alive. He wasn’t strong enough to easily deal with one and definitely not while hiding his powers.
The students were also frightened, mostly because of the size of the beast. When it exited from the trees, it had stopped and was now looking down at them. The beast was a little larger than a two floor house. While it’s long neck stretched out causing a shadow to be cast over the students at the front.
Seeing the beast, Del nervously took the larger scanner from his side. His hands were shaking as he pointed it at the creature, and after a few seconds, his fears were confirmed. It was an advanced level beast.
Del was never much of a fighter, and his ability also didn’t support that fact. Immediately, he started tapping away at his wristwatch. Sending out a distress signal. He was unaware of how many times he had pressed the button.
Del just wanted one of the sergeants to appear in front of them now.
Out of all the students, Quinn was the first to take a step away, trying to get a head start on the other students, but the sound of his steps caused the leaves to ruffle, and the creatures head turned and immediately looked at Quinn.
"Maybe moving isn’t a good idea," Layla said.
"Yeah, while it’s not being aggressive, let’s not do anything," Quinn replied.
Del had felt the same way, which was why he hadn’t shouted at the students to run away or retreat. The sudden movements could frighten the beasts. Most beasts were hostile towards humans, but the higher tiers seemed to have more intelligence, and some would leave humans alone.
Although, that didn’t stop the humans from hunting them for their crystals.
Del was hoping that the students at least knew this basic knowledge, and wouldn’t try attacking the beast, giving them all the best chance for survival.
The bud on the beast’s back slowly started to open up, revealing a pink centre. Out of the pink centre, six vines had also appeared rising up in the air before dropping down and falling to the beast side.
The vines seemed to be alive and being controlled by the beast. Although the beast wasn’t moving, the vines were stretching out from the buds as if there was no end in sight.
One of the vines had reached the student closest to the beast. The end of the vine was slightly larger, and looked similar to the head of the beast itself but was still green in colour. Right now, the head of the vine was floating directly about in front of the student.
His heart was beating loudly, and he now had his eyes closed, hoping that if he couldn’t see the beast, it would somehow calm down his nerves.
After waiting a while, and nothing happening. The student eventually opened his eyes, at that moment, the head of the vine opened up and attached itself to the students.
Using both hands, he grabbed onto the vine and tried to pull as hard as he could, but it was no use. The suction and sticky-ness of the vine was too strong, and he couldn’t break free.
